Lock Xin

The afternoon sun was a little bit strong, reflected on Yeluning's cheeks through the thin window paper, and it was extremely hot, he turned his body slightly to avoid it, his face fell into the darkness, he felt unusually cold, but he felt a little uncomfortable.Yeluning lowered his head to look at the scroll, but saw a bright light spot on the page. He frowned and looked to the side.

Yeluning didn't see a familiar figure, and felt a little uneasy in his heart. He searched around the room before seeing Zixin standing in the corner.

"Why are you standing here today?" Yeluning couldn't help asking, the position of attendants in the general room is fixed, and they are not allowed to move around at will.

"The captain said that the Lord doesn't like anyone approaching, and he ordered me not to come within ten steps of you." Zixin was a little helpless. As a servant in the palace, he had to obey the captain's orders, but he was the only one in the huge room. There were only a few servants, and he couldn't guess who was suing him behind his back.

"Then how dare you stand beside me a few days ago." Ye Luning raised his eyebrows, he firmly believed that Zi Xin did it on purpose, Zi Xin's intelligence would never be stopped by a word from the captain of the guard.

"This subordinate is a newcomer. If you don't obey the rules, please be punished by the Lord." Zi Xin knelt on the ground on one knee, carefully looking up at the expression on Yeluning's face.

Yeluning snorted, Zixin guessed that he would not be willing to order punishment, so he said this, "I don't like to chastise the servants at will, in the future you will be responsible for sorting the books in the study, and use this as punishment."

"Yes." Zixin looked at the endless bookshelf in the distance, feeling a deep sense of powerlessness in her heart, so it would be better if he took a few whips.

"Come here." Seeing Zi Xin standing blankly aside, Ye Luning was a little annoyed, Zi Xin knew what he was thinking, and deliberately teased him, and he was worried that the palace servants in the room would not be able to say anything more.

Zixin obediently stepped forward and stood by the table far away.He used to be able to guess what Yeluning was thinking, but now he can't figure out what Yeluning is thinking.

"Are you afraid of the captain of the guards, or me?" Yeluning lightly raised his fingertips and twirled the pen holder in his hand, the pen and ink splashed on Zi Xin's blue clothes, and the ink fell like raindrops.Perhaps it was because he was too close to Zi Xin recently, which caused dissatisfaction among the palace people, and deliberately squeezed Zi Xin behind his back.Yeluning was well aware of the insidiousness and cunning in the dark places in the imperial city, and he became more and more reluctant to let Zi Xin mix among the servants.

"I'm afraid, you will order me to punish me, and although the captain can't hurt my life, it can also save me from my hard-earned job." Zi Xin didn't dare to contradict the captain, and now he was lucky enough to win Yeluning's favor , To be able to be by the side of the beloved every day, if he starts over from the beginning, maybe he will not be so lucky.

"Why do you insist on staying by my side? Is it because there are a lot of rewards in the palace, but it is also a bit harder than ordinary handymen." Of course Yeluning knew the reason why Zi Xin stayed by his side, but he was very curious about Zi Xin. Xin will how to explain.

"There is still a newborn child at home, so I can see the smile on the child's face, no matter how difficult it is." Zixin looked at Yeluning's face, with a trace of deep affection in his eyes, all he did It's for the ones he loves and their children, no matter how much he pays, he won't hesitate at all.

"You got married so early." Yeluning said feigned surprise, Zixin's appearance is only fifteen or sixteen years old, very young, it is really too early to have a child at this age.

Zi Xin nodded, "I was too young, even a little headstrong, and I didn't see the heart of the person beside me, but he tolerated all my indifference and irrationality, stayed by my side safely, and gave birth to a child for me, I want to treat him well, and if there is an afterlife, I would like to fall in love with him the first time I see him, and I don’t have to let him suffer for many days.” He didn’t know that during those days Yeluning learned of the pain in his womb Child, how did he endure his indifference, if it were him, he wouldn't be emotional anymore.

Yeluning's icy eyes had a trace of moisture, and it was his fault to force Zi Xin with the life of the person Zi Xin cared about most, and he has no regrets in giving everything for Zi Xin.Yeluning didn't ask Zi Xin for anything in return, as long as Zi Xin was by his side in good health, that was enough.Yeluning was moved in his heart, he even wanted to raise his sleeve and hold Zixin's fingertips, but he tried his best to restrain himself.

Yeluning saw Zixin's gaze on his face, coughed lightly, trying to hide the strange expression, "You will miss the child after staying in the palace for many days?"

Zi Xin nodded, he would dream of the child's cute face every day, but he was worried that his identity would be exposed, so he didn't dare to see the child secretly.

Yeluning's heart was full of self-blame mixed with a touch of bitterness. Zixin used to be reluctant to let the nanny take Chen'er back to the room, and even hugged the sleeping Chen'er from time to time. Now that Zixin hasn't seen the child for many days, how could he do not miss.All this stems from his rashness, mistakenly thinking that expelling Zi Xin from the palace would bring the safety of his beloved, but he has forgotten Zi Xin's longing for the child and his worries, if Zi Xin has not yet entered Palace, I am afraid that he lives in misery every day.

"Since you miss your child, go back and take a look. Try your best to endure it and feel bad." Yeluning said softly, looking at the figure of Zi Xin who was by his side every day, he actually forgot about it, which made Zi Xin suffer a lot. Days of longing.

Zi Xin sighed helplessly, as an ordinary attendant, how could he enter the prince's room.Forget it, he should bear it for a while, after this incident, he will definitely stay by Chen'er's side with peace of mind, and will never leave a step.

Yeluning got up and walked towards the door. After stepping down the steps, he turned and looked at the person who was still in the room, "Why are you still standing there in a daze?"

Zi Xin was stunned for a moment before recovering. He didn't expect Yeluning to have walked out of the room, so he hurried a few steps to follow Yeluning.

Looking at the familiar room in the distance, Zi Xin felt a strange excitement in his heart. He held his sleeves tightly and suppressed the expression on his face.He stayed by Yeluning's side for several days and finally he was able to see Chen'er with Yeluning.He hasn't seen the child for many days, so he wonders if Chen'er has grown up now.

Zixin left in a hurry that day, and even failed to hug the child before leaving, but Chen'er was already familiar with the warmth in Zixin's arms. After waking up, she was hugged by the nanny. clam down.

Yeluning turned sideways and saw the joy in Zi Xin's eyes, and smiled slightly.The attendant at the side stretched out his hand and pushed open the door, Yeluning walked in slowly, Zixin saw the light-colored baby on the bed, and subconsciously wanted to run into the room to hug Chen'er, Zixin's shoulder slightly touched Yeluning's sleeve, He paused slightly, and followed Yeluning calmly.

Chen'er was lying on the bed, with small blue eyes open, turning round and round, he looked very excited to see the person coming, waving his fleshy little hands, his white arms were like lotus root segments, delicate and lubricated.

"Chen'er woke up." Yeluning approached the bed, and slowly bent down, before he touched Chen'er's clothes, Chen'er raised her slender fingertips to catch Yeluning's hair.

Yeluning picked up Chen'er's small body, leaned close to his white and tender cheek and kissed him lightly.

Yeluning patted Chen'er on the back and walked to Zixin's side. He couldn't let a guard hug the prince, and he could only let Zixin look at the child.

"Is the little prince good-looking?" Yeluning asked softly, gently stroking Chen'er's arm with his fingertips.Chen'er has grown up a lot since she was born, and her brows and eyes have gradually opened, becoming more and more delicate and beautiful, just like Zi Xin.

Zixin nodded. Chen'er's eyes were as beautiful as Yeluning's. He slightly raised his arm to caress the child, but slowly put it down.

"My lord, it's time to feed the little prince." The nanny approached Yeluning and bowed her head to remind him that if the little prince realized that he was hungry, he might cry unceasingly.

Yeluning nodded, and carefully carried the child into the nurse's arms. He looked at Zixin's gaze on Chen'er's face, and couldn't bear to remind him, so he quietly stayed by Zixin's side.

Zixin suddenly realized that something was wrong with him looking at the little prince, so she quickly lowered her head.

"Let's go," Yeluning turned and walked out of the room, he said casually, "I will come to visit Chen'er tomorrow."

Zixin's dim eyes showed a hint of joy, he didn't expect to hold Chen'er in his arms, as long as he saw Chen'er occasionally, it was enough.

Yeluning paced slowly. He hadn't heard the voice of the person behind him for a long time, so he couldn't help looking back at Zixin's face.It seems that he hasn't seen Zi Xin's downcast face for many days, and he has already let Zi Xin see Chen'er. Where does Zi Xin's heaviness come from, "Did the captain of the guard ever order you to be punished?"

Ye Luning frowned slightly, since Gai Xiong had already arranged Zi Xin into the palace, why didn't he think too much about it, and still let Zi Xin be excluded.

"Never." Zixin shook her head slightly, and just warned him sharply, but it was only a few words, he didn't take it to heart.

"If he said something, you don't have to obey it. You are my bodyguard, just follow my orders." Yeluning ordered coldly. Zi Xin never liked to speak behind people's backs. The captain had talked with Zi Xin in private, but he couldn't talk about it face to face, so he could only entrust Gai Xiong.

Ye Luning still remembered that Gai Xiong allowed Zi Xin to enter the palace without permission, he hadn't issued an order to punish him, it was so good that he could give Gai Xiong a hard job.

"Yes." Zi Xin nodded. If he dared not obey the captain's order, he might not see the Lord in the future.

Yeluning looked at the slight sadness in Zixin's eyebrows, he seemed to feel that Zixin had been silent a lot recently, but he couldn't ask Zixin what happened.

"My lord, what do you want to tell your subordinates?" Zixin couldn't help asking when Yeluning was looking at her.

"Nothing." Yeluning waved his hand, and in a few more days, he would definitely let Zixin stay by his side openly as a princess.He won't let Zixin wait too long.
